510-613 Integrated Clinical Practice

Successful completion of Women's and Children's Health and Specialty Health Rotations.

The subject aims to facilitate students' integration of prior theoretical knowledge with practical skills necessary to prepare them for postgraduate intern training. Students will gain experience in a variety of clinical settings including general practice, medical and surgical wards and ambulatory care settings of teaching hospitals.

Multi-station objective structured clinical examinations (OSCE) of not more than two hours duration (55%); Long Case (30%); General Practice Supervisor Assessment (15%). Students are also required to complete a Log Book of clinical skills (including written tasks, such as Discharge Summaries and Evidence-Based Medicine Exercises) (unweighted hurdle requirement). Students must reach a satisfactory standard in the Log Book, pass the Long Case and achieve 50% for the aggregate of the Long Case and the OSCE. If the Long Case is the only hurdle failed an extra Long Case will be given prior to the posting of results. Hurdle requirement: 75% attendance at lectures, tutorials and practical classes and 100% attendance at clinical placements and field visits.
